quickie...

Negative knitting:

The ender's dragon superwash merino... second try on a pattern. I'm frogging this one, too-- I really like the look of reverse stockinette on socks, and the "opposites attract" cable from Vogue Stitchionary: Cables (vol. 2), but my handspun is too uneven for the effect to work like I'd hoped. Third time I'm predicting plain stockinette.

Also on the negative note, lost the noni bag pattern somewhere to the maw of the house. Ergh.

Slow but steady knitting:

Toe ups in Interlacements Tiny Toes, "chairman of the board." Same wonky yarn from before. I'm not feeling it, just because of the problems with the yarn and that I think these socks may be different from one another when worn (knit on 2 different sized needles to get the same gauge.)

I like your handspun socks, but it's more important that you like them :)I hope my Tiny Toes yarn isn't strange too... That would make the whole ordeal even more disappointing, since that's all I got. bah!

It's not just your experience with the Tiny Toes. I've had a similar one. There is something strange about it, nevermind how soft it is, something just doesn't sit right. I frogged the one I had started. And now I'm beginning to rethink my next strategy of simple stockinette.
